From TypeScript to ReScript

• purescript

  52 8,452 6.6 Haskell

  A strongly-typed language that compiles to JavaScript

  

• rescript-mui

  2 246 8.6 ReScript

  ReScript bindings for MUI

  

I've been using ReScript for a few months now. So far I mostly like it, but it takes some time to get used to it. The error messages can be confusing though so I try not to depend too much on type inference. The other downside is that some bindings for some of the web apis seem to be missing (like for the types in the Dom module).

Btw, for Material UI there are already bindings [1]

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Seed

  36 3,786 4.2 Rust

  A Rust framework for creating web apps

  

• fartscroll.js

  3 2,806 0.0

  Discontinued You want fart noises as you scroll? We've got you covered.

  

As a sort of litmus test I use the number of stars a superset of(or language compiling to) JavaScript has on GitHub and how that compares to fartscroll.js: https://github.com/theonion/fartscroll.js/

By this measure ReScript is still a niche language.

• lwt

  5 682 5.8 OCaml

  OCaml promises and concurrent I/O

  

I have to admit I don't know much about ReScript and only have very basic exposure to OCAML, here is how you do await in it:

https://github.com/ocsigen/lwt

The `let* in` is a generic syntax for monads, it doesn't need a special one just for promise. This was in fact a debate back when async/await was in consideration for ECMAScript, but special syntax is hip so now we have `async/await` for Promise, `.?` for optionals and `flatMap` for arrays, basically the same thing.

• from-typescript-to-rescript

  2 29 0.0 TypeScript

  Frontend of https://Inhyped.com written in TypeScript and rewritten in ReScript

• genType

  5 759 0.0 OCaml

  Discontinued Auto generation of idiomatic bindings between Reason and JavaScript: either vanilla or typed with TypeScript/FlowType.

  

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• zod

  287 30,174 9.1 TypeScript

  TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference

You can accomplish it with a library like zod[1]. It's not the prettiest though; first class support would definitely be better.

• rescript-compiler

  94 6,453 9.5 OCaml

  The compiler for ReScript.

  

• Idris2

  39 2,395 9.6 Idris

  A purely functional programming language with first class types

  

Idris 2 looks promising... I suggest keep an eye on it https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2

• melange

  14 752 9.7 OCaml

  A mixture of tooling combined to produce JavaScript from OCaml & Reason

  

There is a fork of ReScript that supports ReasonML syntax and with the goal of maintaining Ocaml compatibility: https://github.com/melange-re/melange.

• Fable: F# |> BABEL

  60 2,813 9.8 F#

  F# to JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust and Dart Compiler

  

There is also F# via Fable: https://fable.io

Business logic can be shared with .NET and it has lots of ways to interoperate with JS. There's even a TypeScript converter though of course it's not as pleasant as "yarn add" and YMMV : https://fable.io/ts2fable/

Here's a demo of building some React components in F#: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Ct3CM_lj4&t=860s
